the party really begins here today, tonight, and michelle obama, what is the big test for michelle obama? we know she's practiced, she's a practiced speaker, she's been on the national stage, unlike ann romney, who hit it out of the park with her first effort, really, using teleprompters and all the attention. what is the tactical political effect of michelle obama? >> i think michelle made her debut four years ago in what was an off the chart speech. i think she, because of her closeness obviously with the president and her viewpoint, she can really tell the story of his values, his upbringing, what he believes, and what he wants to do yet for this country. i think she is going to be a powerful and passionate advocate for the president tonight and will give a great speech. >> unlike mitt romney, who needed to have the biography filled in and ann romney was trying to explain just who is this man who has been described variously as robotic and not warm and cuddly to the outside world, at least, president obama has a very high popularity quotient but his big gap is on answering the republi

what should we expect from michelle obama tonight? guest: you can draw the comparison to the republican national convention. ann romney very much played a role in humanizing mitt romney. the governor was talking about her as the silver bullet. she is able to bring home in terms of relating to her husband. michelle obama can talk about the president as a human being, as a father, as a husband who has flaws. she did that from the beginning. obama made us into a celebrity and people just loved him. for some democrats, he seemed like a rock star. she can talk about him as someone with human qualities to try to humanize him. tonight i think you'll see less of that and more of an advocate of the things that he has done. she speaks fluently about those things. she will talk about his accomplishments. she will tout his accomplishments and promote what he will do going forward. he is already familiar to voters. host: we were showing video of michelle obama torrent the podium at the arena in charlotte -- touring the podium at the arena in charl
